Rebholz 2016 Riesling Kastanienbusch GG, Pfalz

GG (Grosses Gewachs) on a label indicates that the vineyard is Grand Cru in quality. Until now, I have had major reservations about the practice of German vintners taking their best Riesling vineyards to make expensive and powerful dry white wines when the same vineyards have been making the world's greatest sweet and semi-sweet wines. But here in the Pfalz, Rebholz' Kastanienbusch, grown in red slate soils is making me reassess my biases. With beautiful florals, a mouth-filling, plush texture, this generous and juicy wine with its attractive minerality and easy finish is as impressive as most any super-premium white wine on the market.
